CIPRs holding back retirement income review
The retirement income review covenant needs to be simplified by excluding comprehensive income products for retirement (CIPR), according to Aberdeen Standard Investments (ASI).
ASI managing director, Brett Jollie, told Super Review that the covenant which was touted to go live on 1 July, 2020, had been held back by CIPRs.
Jollie noted that while the framework would provide fact-based evidence to create sensible policy, it needed to be simplified.
“The covenant is a positive development but the CIPR is less so as it has been delayed again and again and will continue to hold up the government on retirement income progress,” Jollie said.
“It is currently not possible to put people through a single default scheme.”
Jollie said CIPR progress needed to separately develop so that the covenant could move along.
He noted that the challenge for the industry was creating a single mass customisable solution for retirees and the industry was not there yet.

Speaking to Super Review, the $70 billion fund has unveiled its new solution to address the ‘cognitive load’ of retirement as members enter their golden years.
New research has suggested it’s time to reconsider the home as a fourth pillar of the retirement income system, alongside the age pension, superannuation, and voluntary private savings.
New research has revealed over 60 per cent of retirees believe their super fund offers retirement income products suitable to support their retirement lifestyle.
Some retirees are “needlessly” paying two sets of fees and often more tax than they need to, according to the industry body.
